Democrats Debate In New Hampshire

    The Democratic presidential hopefuls had another debate tonight which consisted of the usual barbs about Iraq with John Edwards jumping on both Senator's Clinton and Obama for not taking the lead action on the Iraq war spending bill.

   John Edwards: "They went quietly to the floor of the Senate, cast the right vote -- but there is a difference between leadership and legislators."

   When asked to name names by Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Edwards said, "Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama did not say anything about how they were going to vote until they appeared on the floor of the Senate and voted."

Sen. Obama didn't care for the comments from John Edwards so he shot back with...,"The fact is that I opposed this war from the start."

"So you're about 4 1/2 years late on leadership on this issue. And, you know, I think it's important not to play politics on something that is as critical and as difficult as this.It is not easy to vote for cutting off funding, because the fact is, there are troops on the ground."

  It would seem that Mr. Obama has a little bit of that Republican talking points bullshit in his blood concerning the troops and cutting off the funding. I have to wonder, does Senator Obama really believe that cutting off the funding will put our troops in jeopardy? If he does buy into that bullshit, then he is obviously to ignorant to run the United States Government from the White House and he has no business being the President of the United States.

   My next thought is, if he doesn't believe that crap then why is he saying it? That would suggest that he agrees with the GOP. It would seem that most of the Democrats seem to agree with Bush on Iraq since they continue to screw around with the White House and they keep funding this sorry excuse for a war.

    Sad to say that it is all about the oil in Iraq with the Democrats also.

   The debate did cover a few other topics such as immigration and such. Blitzer asked the wannabe's if they believed that English should be the United States official language. They were asked to raise their hands and only Mike Gravel, former Senator from Alaska, raised his hand.

Mike Gravel: "We speak English. That doesn't mean we can't encourage other languages. I speak French and English. People speak Spanish and English. But the official language of the United States of America is English."

   On the Middle East and the rest of the planet...

Clinton said her husband, former president Bill Clinton, would play a role in another Clinton administration.

"When I become president, Bill Clinton, my dear husband, will be one of the people who will be sent around the world as a roving ambassador ... trying to make friends and allies and stopping the alienation of the rest of the world," she said.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who served as U.N. ambassador and Secretary of Energy during Bill Clinton's administration, said he thinks Clinton could serve a role in the Middle East.

"This administration has not had a Middle East peace envoy as other bipartisan administrations have had. We have serious problems in the Middle East," he said.

Gravel said he would use the former president as a roving ambassador.

"He'd be good," Gravel said. "He can take his wife with him, who will still be in the Senate."

  On Tuesday, the Republican contenders will be here (New Hampshire) for their very own comedy debate which should be a riot.
